[00:31] ---
    It's been a long time, Mii.
[00:35] ---
    Senpai...
[00:37] ---
    You're alive.
[00:39] ---
    Looks that way.
[00:42] ---
    Why?
[00:43] ---
    Why didn't you ever contact me?!
    I was sure you'd been...
[00:55] ---
    Take it easy.
[00:58] ---
    I'll get lost right away.
[01:00] ---
    Senpai!
[01:04] ---
    Senpai...

[02:38] ---
    Miss Konori and Kurozuma
    know each other?!
[02:41] ---
    Mm-hmm. She hasn't said
    exactly what the situation is.
[02:45] ---
    But isn't Kurozuma supposed to be...
[02:48] ---
    ...Big Spider's boss, right?
[02:51] ---
    That's true.
[02:52] ---
    Then why would Kurozuma and Miss Konori...
[02:55] ---
    He's the sort of guy that
    attacks girls just for walking by!
[02:58] ---
    Oh, uh, you see,
    he's not that Kurozuma.
[03:02] ---
    No, that's not right. More like...
[03:07] ---
    Hey, Kuroko,
    help me out explaining all this!
[03:11] ---
    Strange and inscrutable are the
    way two people are brought together.
[03:14] ---
    I will remain a silent
    observer in these matters.
[03:18] ---
    Aw, man, this is bugging me!
    It's all so murky!
[03:22] ---
    I think I'll just go and
    ask Miss Konori directly!
[03:25] ---
    Yeah, well...
[03:27] ---
    She hasn't been to
    the branch the last few days.
[03:31] ---
    She hasn't?
[03:32] ---
    I can't get through to her cell, either.
[03:34] ---
    And that esper hunter case
    hasn't been resolved yet.
[03:39] ---
    That is, in fact, where the problem lies.
[03:42] ---
    It will not do any
    good for us to fret over this.
[03:44] ---
    Under the circumstances,
    I think we should take this on the road.
[03:47] ---
    Take this on the road where?
[03:52] ---
    Coming!
[03:54] ---
    Who are you?
[03:56] ---
    Um, this is Miss
    Konori Mii's apartment, right?
[04:02] ---
    Oh, you're Mii's juniors?
    Sorry, but she's out right now.
[04:07] ---
    Oh, she is?
[04:10] ---
    I wanted to hear more about Kurozuma, too.
[04:13] ---
    I guess we're out of luck.
[04:15] ---
    All right, we'll try again later.
    Sorry to bother you.
[04:20] ---
    Oh, hold on!
[04:23] ---
    I really don't know what to do with her,
[04:25] ---
    causing all of you to worry about her, too.
[04:27] ---
    No, it's okay.
[04:30] ---
    So then,
[04:31] ---
    Kurozuma has returned, huh?
[04:36] ---
    Imagine, him still being alive.
[04:39] ---
    You know who Kurozuma is?!
[04:41] ---
    So, how are she and Kurozuma involved?!
[04:43] ---
    J-Just a moment. Before we get into that,
[04:46] ---
    tell me more about yourselves.
[04:52] ---
    I see.
[04:53] ---
    Then it's no wonder.
[04:55] ---
    Um, so,
[04:57] ---
    how is it that Miss Konori knows Kurozuma?
[05:00] ---
    By any chance, has she ever had
    occasion to catch Kurozuma before?
[05:05] ---
    No, no. Mii, you see,
    was once a member of Big Spider.
[05:13] ---
    That's impossible! I don't
    care what you say, that's not true!
[05:15] ---
    After all, she is in Judgment.
[05:17] ---
    How could she be...?
[05:19] ---
    Appearances to the contrary,
    she used to be quite rambunctious.
[05:23] ---
    Rambunctious?
[05:24] ---
    I do not mean to speak out
    of turn about someone's past,
[05:28] ---
    but even if that is true,
    Miss Konori is a Level 3 esper.
[05:32] ---
    She could have become
    sidetracked any number of ways,
[05:35] ---
    so why, of all things,
[05:37] ---
    would she run with the
    non-esper gang of Skill Out?
[05:40] ---
    Haven't you ever hit a wall
    when it came to your abilities?
[05:44] ---
    She had a very difficult
    time trying to get past hers,
[05:46] ---
    and she was more depressed
    than she was able to handle.
[05:49] ---
    Huh?
[05:51] ---
    Back then, Mii felt...
[05:53] ---
    ...no matter where she went,
    there was no place for her there.
[05:58] ---
    But then...
[06:26] ---
    ...she ran into some
    people who lit up her eyes.
[06:30] ---
    "Big Spider"
[06:30] ---
    And though they were Skill Out,
[06:32] ---
    the gang just hung around with
    each others amiably,
[06:35] ---
    and goofed around.
[06:37] ---
    Actually, I was worried too, at first--
[06:40] ---
    about how she intentionally
    hid the fact that she was an esper.
[06:46] ---
    But...
[06:50] ---
    "Big Spider is a
    place where I can be myself."
[06:56] ---
    That's what Mii would say.
[07:00] ---
    A place she could be...
[07:04] ---
    Alienation... self-discovery...
[07:07] ---
    It's something you're sure to catch, like
    the measles, when you're in Academy City.
[07:11] ---
    Mii caught it at that time.
[07:14] ---
    But you only catch the measles once.
[07:18] ---
    Sissy...
[07:31] ---
    "Mii" "Kuro"
[07:35] ---
    Yo.
[07:36] ---
    U-Um, I was just...
[07:41] ---
    I hear you're a Level 2.
[07:44] ---
    If so, you shouldn't be here--
[07:46] ---
    Let me stay!
[07:48] ---
    I have nowhere else to be but here. Please!
[07:55] ---
    It's a pain being an esper, too, huh?
[08:00] ---
    Well, okay.
[08:03] ---
    However...
[08:05] ---
    ...do you intend to stay here
    next year, and the year after, too?
[08:09] ---
    That's something for you to decide.
[08:24] ---
    Senpai...
[08:31] ---
    I don't get it.
[08:33] ---
    Sissy?
[08:34] ---
    I'm shocked that Miss
    Konori was in Skill Out,
[08:37] ---
    but even so, why is
    she missing her Judgment work?
[08:40] ---
    Does the one have to do with the other?
[08:42] ---
    Well, you see, it is--
[08:44] ---
    The past is the past, isn't it?!
[08:45] ---
    Nowadays, she's working
    hard at Judgment, isn't she?
[08:48] ---
    She's nice to us, though sometimes
    strict, and dependable...
[08:53] ---
    That's the Konori we all like so much.
[08:55] ---
    So then, why, now, is she...?
[08:58] ---
    Maybe it's not that cut and dried, you know?
[09:02] ---
    Who she is, is a result of who she was.
[09:06] ---
    Besides, if that past was
    special to her, all the more reason...
[09:13] ---
    N-No, it's not like that.
[09:15] ---
    I'm not trying to side against you, Misaka.
[09:19] ---
    Aw, geez...
[09:21] ---
    I just don't get it.
[09:26] ---
    What gives? Where is everybody?
[09:29] ---
    What do you expect?
    After what happened back there....
[09:33] ---
    Yeah, I guess.
[09:34] ---
    Hey, does that mean that
    Mr. Kurozuma is an imposter?
[09:38] ---
    No way he is! Mr. Kurozuma
    is still Mr. Kurozuma!
[09:42] ---
    Yeah, but didn't he look spooked
    when they called him Hebitani?
[09:46] ---
    You saw that, too, huh?
[09:48] ---
    He really did get spooked, didn't he?
[09:51] ---
    Who did you say got spooked?
[09:54] ---
    M-Mr. Kurozuma!
[09:56] ---
    If you've got time to
    stand around doubting me,
[09:59] ---
    then get out there, find that
    bastard poser, and kill him, now!
[10:02] ---
    There's no room in Academy City
    for two Kurozuma Watarus!
[10:07] ---
    --R-Right!
[10:08] ---
    --Come on, move it!
    --R-Right!
[10:08] ---
    --Come on, move it!
    --Let's go!
[10:09] ---
    --Come on, hurry it up!
    --Let's go!
[10:23] ---
    Hello?
[10:25] ---
    Yeah, it's me.
[10:27] ---
    Huh? The Capacity Down?
    Yeah, we're using it, all right.
[10:33] ---
    Oh, shut up! Things are a big mess here, too!
[10:36] ---
    We don't have
    time for esper hunting now--
[10:40] ---
    What was that?
[10:44] ---
    Has Misaka been like that ever since?
[10:47] ---
    Well, yes.
[10:51] ---
    Oh, an email from Antiskill.
[10:54] ---
    Let's see... To counteract
    the esper hunts by Skill Out,
[10:57] ---
    Antiskill headquarters is
    mobilizing tomorrow at 10 a.m.
[11:00] ---
    on School District 10, Area G,
    commonly known as "Strange,"
[11:05] ---
    and performing an all-out sweep?!
[11:18] ---
    Mii, you forgot something.
[11:36] ---
    I knew this is where you would be.
[11:40] ---
    #Skill Out
[11:41] ---
    Miss Misaka...
[11:44] ---
    What are you doing out here?
[11:47] ---
    It wouldn't be to warn Kurozuma
    about the general sweep
[11:51] ---
    that's happening tomorrow, would it?
[11:54] ---
    I don't think this is the
    place for you, Miss Konori!
[11:58] ---
    You're right.
[12:00] ---
    This is not the place for me.
[12:03] ---
    But still, the one who let me know that...
[12:07] ---
    ...is Kurozuma.
[12:11] ---
    Senpai, please don't go!
SIGN    "I have the idiot Hebitani. If you want him back, come alone"
[12:13] ---
    I know how you feel, but I can't
    very well abandon Hebitani.
[12:16] ---
    It's obvious that it's a trap, isn't it?!
[12:21] ---
    Come to think of it,
    that talk we had earlier...
[12:24] ---
    I really don't think that this is the
    place where you should engrave your name.
[12:39] ---
    Senpai...
[12:45] ---
    By the time I arrived on the scene...
[13:02] ---
    And now, there's my current self.
[13:08] ---
    Still, that doesn't mean...
[13:11] ---
    You're in Judgment, aren't you?
[13:14] ---
    It's not right for you to
    let criminals get away, is it?
[13:17] ---
    --It isn't--
[13:18] ---
    --Yeah, it's wrong, isn't it?
    --It isn't--
[13:21] ---
    Senpai...
[13:23] ---
    It's been two years, huh?
[13:26] ---
    After it happened,
    I woke up in the hospital.
[13:30] ---
    From there, I was sent
    to a treatment facility,
[13:33] ---
    and got out about six months ago.
[13:37] ---
    Senpai, I...
[13:39] ---
    I thought that I might
    never see this view again.
[13:46] ---
    I also thought it best
    if I not see you again.
[13:50] ---
    If I did, then once again...
[13:51] ---
    Once again, are you planning
    to go in on your own?
[13:54] ---
    Like you did before?
[13:56] ---
    I'm the one that created Big Spider.
[13:59] ---
    That's why I'm the one who
    will bring it down; not Antiskill.
[14:03] ---
    Don't go!
[14:04] ---
    You're always like this!
[14:06] ---
    Always caring for others however you
    please, and acting however you please!
[14:10] ---
    It's because you're like this that I...
[14:13] ---
    You're the same way, aren't you?
[14:16] ---
    That's why you're here, right?
[14:20] ---
    Now, just get going. Look,
[14:24] ---
    she's been standing there,
    not knowing what to do, hasn't she?
[14:27] ---
    Bye, then.
[14:29] ---
    Cherish the place where you are now.
[14:32] ---
    I'm coming, too.
[14:34] ---
    I don't want to go through that again.
[14:37] ---
    Enough already, Mii.
    It's not like it was before, right?
[14:42] ---
    For both of us.
[14:43] ---
    Now and then has nothing to do with it!
[14:45] ---
    My place may have changed,
    but my feelings have not!
[14:56] ---
    Say, Kuroko...
[14:58] ---
    Hmm?
[14:59] ---
    As time goes by,
    and our positions change,
[15:03] ---
    do you think we'll still
    have feelings that don't change?
[15:10] ---
    If anything, that may be the way it is
[15:12] ---
    when someone has
    feelings for someone else.
[15:16] ---
    And it is the sum of those feelings
[15:20] ---
    that makes the present for that person shine.
[15:24] ---
    The sum of their feelings...
[15:26] ---
    It may sound presumptuous,
[15:28] ---
    but in just this short
    time between us, Sissy,
[15:31] ---
    there is something that has been building up.
[15:34] ---
    Oh, yeah.
[15:36] ---
    And that's going to keep
    building up from here on out, huh?
[15:45] ---
    You know what, Kuroko?
[15:47] ---
    I have a small favor to ask.
[16:03] ---
    We are about to launch a
    general sweep of District 10, Area G,
[16:05] ---
    otherwise known as "Strange." Mount up!
[16:20] ---
    You two...
[16:22] ---
    How did...?
[16:25] ---
    H-Hey! What is this?!
[16:27] ---
    Mm-hmm, that's more like it!
[16:31] ---
    This is my...
[16:33] ---
    But how...?
[16:38] ---
    Miss Konori...
[16:40] ---
    ...you look good.
[16:58] ---
    You sure seem busy,
    at this hour of the morning.
[17:02] ---
    I've come to end this.
[17:04] ---
    He's that guy from earlier!
[17:07] ---
    Why, you...
[17:08] ---
    I'm sure you already know this,
[17:11] ---
    but I'm strong.
[17:22] ---
    Yeah, you are strong, all right.
[17:25] ---
    But then, it's the same
    as if you were an esper!
[17:28] ---
    You're no match for our numbers or weapons!
[17:31] ---
    Hold it!
[17:33] ---
    Mii...?
[17:36] ---
    Looking good, aren't you?
[17:40] ---
    Konori?!
[17:42] ---
    Hebitani,
[17:43] ---
    you've lowered yourself to
    become quite a scumbag, huh?
[17:47] ---
    Relying on the strength of numbers,
[17:48] ---
    not to mention weapons...
[17:51] ---
    Shut up! You've turned your
    back on us, and joined Judgment!
[17:55] ---
    What do you know?!
[17:56] ---
    Go on! Show these two the power we have!
[18:02] ---
    Shall I start delivering them
    into your bodies directly, next?
[18:07] ---
    B-But we still have the--
[18:10] ---
    The what?
[18:17] ---
    You mean that?
[18:19] ---
    You didn't really think that we would fall
[18:23] ---
    for the same trap twice, did you?
[18:26] ---
    Get her! Let her have it!
[18:29] ---
    B-But she's the Railgun of Tokiwadai!
[18:32] ---
    --R-Railgun?!
    --We're no match for her!
[18:35] ---
    --W-What do we do?!
    --Hey, that there is Railgun!
[18:38] ---
    I said get them!
[18:39] ---
    If you don't get them, I'll kill you!
[18:42] ---
    You two stay out of this.
[18:45] ---
    Respect your elders for once.
[18:52] ---
    Go on, get in there!
[19:06] ---
    Hey, now, you've got to
    put your heart into it,
[19:09] ---
    or this won't be a challenge!
[19:19] ---
    I'll be confiscating that. As well as,
[19:22] ---
    this stun gun.
[19:23] ---
    How did--
[19:28] ---
    So that's your ability, is it?
[19:30] ---
    Pretty awesome, isn't it?
[19:33] ---
    Isn't it?
[19:37] ---
    You're not gonna get the best of me, though!
[19:49] ---
    Now then, what will it be?
[19:54] ---
    Y-You think you've won?
[19:57] ---
    Take a look at this!
[20:00] ---
    Dynamite!
    What year does he think this is?!
[20:04] ---
    I dare you to come any closer.
    I'll blow us all sky-high!
[20:12] ---
    Well? What's the matter? You scared?
[20:16] ---
    Aw, what a pain.
[20:19] ---
    S-Stay back! I'll blow us up!
[20:22] ---
    Hebitani, we used to
    have some good times, huh?
[20:26] ---
    Stay back! Stay back, I say!
[20:28] ---
    We all used to hang out, and get crazy.
[20:32] ---
    What happened to that?
[20:34] ---
    S-Stay... back...
[20:44] ---
    What happened to you,
[20:46] ---
    Hebitani?
[20:48] ---
    I-I had no choice...
[20:51] ---
    I didn't have any choice...
[20:54] ---
    This is the only place we have.
[20:57] ---
    In order to keep Big Spider together,
[20:59] ---
    I had no choice but to become Kurozuma.
[21:04] ---
    Which is why...
[21:06] ---
    ...there's no room for you here now!
[21:19] ---
    Hebitani...
[21:21] ---
    ...your place...
[21:24] ---
    ...is wherever you can be yourself.
[21:36] ---
    Ah, it's over, it's over.
[21:41] ---
    Here.
[21:44] ---
    Mii...
[21:49] ---
    Kurozuma Wataru,
[21:51] ---
    you're under arrest,
    for suspicion of assault.
[22:00] ---
    It looks good on you.
[22:03] ---
    But then, isn't the leather jacket
    a bit tight around the bust?
[22:09] ---
    Well, that's because I've
    been drinking it every day.
[22:15] ---
    When it comes to milk,
    it's gotta be Musasino!
